Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) are rare hereditary disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and striking abnormalities of erythroblast morphology. The mutated genes are known for the most frequent types, CDA I and II, but data about their frequency do not exist. The objective of this retrospective study was to estimate the frequency of CDA I and II, based on all cases reported in the last 42 yr in publications and identified registries or surveys. Reports were collected of 124 and 377 confirmed cases of CDA I and CDA II cases, respectively. The cumulated incidence of both types combined varied widely between European regions, with minimal values of 0.08 cases/million in Scandinavia and 2.60 cases/million in Italy. CDA II is more frequent than CDA I, with an overall ratio of approximately 3.2, but the ratio also varied between different regions. The most likely explanations for the differences are both differences in the availability of advanced diagnostic procedures and different levels of the awareness for the diagnosis of the CDAs. The estimations reported here are most probably below the true incidence rates, because of failure to make the correct diagnosis and to underreporting. Limited data do not suggest differing levels of risk in identified ethnic groups.

Background: Inactivation or mutations of FAM20C causes human Raine Syndrome, which manifests as lethal osteosclerosis bone dysplasia or non-lethal hypophosphatemia rickets. However, it is only hypophosphatemia rickets that was reported in the mice with Fam20c deletion or mutations. To further investigate the local and global impacts of Fam20c mutation, we constructed a knock-in allele carrying Fam20c mutation (D446N) found in the non-lethal Raine Syndrome.

Ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) is defined as the abnormal differentiation and excessive destruction of erythroblasts in the marrow, accompanied by an expanded progenitor compartment and relative reduction in the production of reticulocytes. It is a defining feature of many types of anemia, including beta-thalassemia. GATA1 is an essential transcription factor for erythroid differentiation, known to be implicated in hematological conditions presenting with IE, including beta-thalassemia and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.

Article Synopsis
- - Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal disorder affecting lipid storage, while congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) Type II is an autosomal recessive blood condition related to ineffective red blood cell production.
- - The co-occurrence of AFD and CDA Type II is extremely rare and has never been documented before, making this case particularly significant.
- - Early screening and genetic counseling are vital for families, especially for children presenting unusual symptoms related to these distinct genetic disorders.

Article Synopsis
- - Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) result from an overactive innate immune system, leading to widespread inflammation and are caused by various genetic defects that complicate diagnosis.
- - Despite advancements in genetic testing, around 40% of SAIDs patients still do not have a clear genetic diagnosis, and the disorders are grouped based on their unique pathophysiological features including inflammasomopathies and relopathies.
- - Targeted treatments are crucial, utilizing agents like JAK inhibitors and IL-1 blockers, to manage the distinct clinical presentations and inflammation associated with these complex diseases.
